There is a single gabled dormer, and the chimney stacks are offset, projecting to the front right and clustered to the centre left. On the first floor, there are three wooden casements, and on the ground floor, there is one to the right. The entrance is a boarded door located in a central raking porch, with a boarded loft door to the left that has ladder steps leading up to it. At the rear, there is a catslide outshot. Inside, the roof features a crown-post that is braced to tie beams.
